    This isn’t really impressive.  If your device is capable of the latest OS, Apple spams you with upgrade reminders.  You can’t disable the notification, only either upgrade now or postpone it for awhile (like a day or two).  It’s not like everyone is jonesing for the latest emoji set.  I just upgrade so that I don’t have to deal with the annoying pop up reminders
    Unlike what someone else posted, turning off automatic updates DOES NOT stop the reminders or the download of the iOS update. It stops apps from being automatically updated and application of the iOS update.

    Here's what works:

    1. Delete the downloaded update by going to manage your storage in settings, find the downloaded update and deleting it. This stops the reminders until it next completes the download of the update. You'll be free of the reminders for a couple to several days, depending on how long it takes the update to download again. Your battery charge will continue to be used to download the update.
    2. Cram your storage full until available storage is too small to hold the update. I do this with movies and tv episodes from the Apple Store and it did a wonderful job of putting a stop to the endless cycle of update downloads. It also put an end to the battery drain due to the background iOS update download. This can cause an issue for you if you take a lot of video, pics or download a number of Podcasts, but you can delete individual movies or tv episodes as needed.
